asking why be upset with them when there’s other people to be upset about is just whataboutism

I don't think so, many people didn't vote, and leftists are an extreme minority in this country, so it's certainly a choice to focus on them and not all non-voters.

Like yes, all those others are also bad. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna cut them any slack.

Who's saying anything about cutting slack? Yes all non-voters are to blame, but the meme is about Pro-Palestinians causing the apocalypse, not non-voters.

It's not whataboutism to ask why one focuses intensely on a small minority, when you admit that the problem is beyond that minority.

    A small vocal minority that spurred apathy.

    They are sanctimonious while being one of the many architects of our crumbling level of control in our democracy.

    Are they a minority? Maybe but US elections are won and lost on an increasingly small number of constituents.

    That being said I dislike all forms of non-voting but at least I might be able to convince them.
